Solution Overview

Problem

Smart operating systems and applications on terminal devices, such as smartphones and tablets, often fail to accommodate individual user habits and preferences due to fixed configurations, leading to user confusion about available functions.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that connects a terminal apparatus with a remote server to gather user operation data, which is used to generate customized configurations and prompts based on user behavior, optimizing the user experience by adapting the interface to individual habits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed configurations are provided in the operating system and applications, then the system structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot satisfy user habits and personalized requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized configuration capabilityVSAvoidsystem configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-collects user operation data and analyzes usage habits before the user needs customization. The server proactively generates customized configurations based on accumulated operation records, so when the user needs personalized settings, the system has already prepared optimal configurations based on pre-analyzed behavior patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors user operations and feeds this data back to the server for analysis. The server generates customized configurations based on the feedback from operation records, and these configurations are applied to the terminal. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to user habits while maintaining manageable complexity through automated analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple functions are added to the operating system and applications, then the system functionality is enhanced, but users become confused about how to use the functions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoiduser operation understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of providing generic help for all functions, the system analyzes user operation data to identify specific functions the user struggles with or uses frequently. customized prompts are then generated to provide targeted guidance for those specific functions, making the help information locally optimized for each user's actual needs rather than uniformly comprehensive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically analyzes user operation records to generate customized prompts without requiring users to manually search for help or configure settings. The server autonomously processes operation data, identifies usage patterns, and generates appropriate prompts, allowing the system to serve itself in understanding and adapting to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If customized configurations are generated based on user operation data, then user experience is improved, but data processing and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddata processing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential and relevant features from user operation data that are necessary for generating customized configurations. Instead of processing all raw operation data, the server identifies and extracts key behavioral patterns and usage habits, reducing the effective data volume needed for customization while maintaining personalization quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
